The world had McPheever during the fifth season of American Idol. So whatever happened to contestant Katharine McPhee?\n\nApparently, she is doing quite well, thank you. Zap2it says that McPhee has just signed on to star in the NBC comedy The Pink House. \n\nMcPhee actually won't be the focus of the show or the resident of said house. Instead, she plays a neighbor. Two guys are the lucky renters. Those leads have not been filled yet. \n\nThis will be McPhee's first full-time TV role. Also, is she the first AI alum to get a regular TV gig? We don't count Celebrity Rehab or other TV competitions.\n\nMcPhee's past work includes a major role in the 2008 big-screen comedy The House Bunny. She also released her second album Unbroken earlier this year. \n\n
